The four-star point-guard signees of the universities of Louisville and Kentucky are longtime rivals and longtime friends, and U of L-bound Quentin Snider and UK-bound Tyler Ulis are excited for the chance to compete against each other for years to come in college.

Ulis, who attends Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights, Ill., said he's been playing against or with Snider at basketball camps and in AAU events around the country since fourth grade. Snider, the standout at Ballard High, recalls that it has been since at least second grade.
